…, RK Roy, S Wang, M Eliava, S Wagner… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Oxytocin (OT) is a great facilitator of social life but, although its effects on socially relevant
brain regions have been extensively studied, OT neuron activity during actual social …

[HTML][HTML] Distinct dynamics of social motivation drive differential social behavior in laboratory rat and mouse strains

…, M Briller, A Bizer, V Grinevich, S Wagner - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Mice and rats are widely used to explore mechanisms of mammalian social behavior in health
and disease, raising the question whether they actually differ in their social behavior. Here …

Long-term social recognition memory is mediated by oxytocin-dependent synaptic plasticity in the medial amygdala

R Gur, A Tendler, S Wagner - Biological psychiatry, 2014 - Elsevier
Background Recognition of specific individuals is fundamental to mammalian social behavior
and is mediated in most mammals by the main and accessory olfactory systems. Both …
